That's a fair comment, I mean random in the sense of wide variation. I suspect a moderately skilled user of graphical software could convert either of the proposed images into something that looks real solving for shadows and incorrect game pieces, whereas generating 10 different faces might be quite difficult. Especially if tasked with doing it for a race or culture the artist was not familiar with.
I don’t see why it couldn’t - but the end result might be incoherent to humans. It could easily combine or extrapolate on random things to create “art”
